If you stumble across a labs URL (like in the article), you can usually just replace "plan9.bell-labs.com" with "9p.io". For instance, the link to Miller's RPi build that was linke…

Doesn't seem that realistic. I reloaded a bunch of times, and didn't get a single one where the same command can mean 3 different context-sensitive things that each take different …

Having written my own git client, I can tell you that "the most complicated part will be the command-line arguments parsing logic" doesn't go away. I wouldn't be surprised to wake …

The sadest part about this is that it's all because the stigma against mental health problems is so strong that people are this outraged over research that might even suggest their…

Unless your current reviews are really superficial probably not. You can only review at your level of understanding, so if they're asking for more depth to your code reviews you pr…

It's a Plan 9 fork, the Plan 9 papers and man pages would describe the system architecture pretty well. Most of the changes I know of that they've done (UFS support, ELF executable…

For pretty much my whole life universities have been telling people that they need to go to university to get a better job (where "better" == "higher paid", sometimes implicitly an…

Do you know if your talk going to be online afterwards?

Sure, you could, but then you need to fork the Go compiler too (and hopefully eventually get your GOOS target mainlined, which seems unlikely unless your OS gets popular) or you co…

The Go assembly language is actually one of the things that make doing something like this difficult. Go uses the Plan9 assembly syntax but doesn't support GNU asm syntax. gccgo us…

I started writing a kernel in Go a while ago (and since abandoned it due to not having time.. I got as far as having a simple built in shell that let you do ls and cat on a FAT fil…

"This is the official list of people who can contribute (and typically have contributed) code to the Upspin repository. The AUTHORS file lists the copyright holders; this file list…

"Additionally, unless there is a Contributor License Agreement to the contrary, whenever you make a contribution to a repository containing notice of a license, you license your co…

Thanks! I wasn't sure since it says that there's no window decorations.

This looks incredibly similar to a WM I'm writing.. except mine is written in Go using literate programming, as an excuse to try to do something substantial with LP. In the last sc…

Is the plan to use grumpc to transpile the code to Go and then work in Go in the future, or is the plan to keep coding in Python and add a grumpy step before deploying? (If the for…

They're in the chart. They're hovering near the bottom around 0%.

The argument is that if no one chooses the underdogs, then eventually there'll be a monopoly and no choice, regardless of switching costs..

It depends what you mean by "open." Anyone can subscribe to the go-codereview mailing list. Anyone can submit a patch, but you need to a) use gerrit and b) sign a (digital) contrib…

"it's backed by Google" is the reason I avoided Go for years and is still the only reason I'm nervous using it.

That's odd, because in the martial arts I do (aikido), I've always been amazed by how similar of a state it puts you into: trying to get into the zone, concentrate on what you're d…

The HN post title is the same as the author's original title.

I'm fairly sure I originally saw it on HN.

I think the most well-thought-out explanation I've seen for why widespread support for the SQL standard seemed to stop after SQL-92 is this one: http://www.wiscorp.com/is_sql_a_rea…

The Plan9 raspberry pi is probably the easiest way to get Plan 9 up and running, but not very powerful. The default image only has a 2gb partition. If you're interested in venti, i…
